[Full-Disclosure] RE: [Full-disclosure]MS should re-write code with security in mind

M$ should just bite the bullet and re-write windows with 
security in mind, give it a true process scheduler, multi-user
with windows as a client server processes.  Build in 256 bit encryption and secure communications between processes and 
external communication with no unencrypted traffic.  That would shut down a lot of these mindless security leaks.  All 
mail should be encrypted and point-to-point, with the mail servers only able to re-direct and broadcast mail with 
authentication.   Maybe we could slow a lot of  the hacking down  and spam.  But again until the market place demands 
it M$, Linux and everybody else it's business as usual.

Keeps us employed I guess.
